Case Study: SOPHiA GENETICS Tightens Access Controls and Accelerates Business Metrics with Starburst Data

SOPHiA GENETICS Deploys Starburst to Query Across Borders and Accelerate Their Data Mesh Initiative

SOPHiA GENETICS, a global healthcare data and bioinformatics company working with more than 780 hospitals and research institutions in over 70 countries, needed a way to catalog data and generate business metrics across distributed backend systems while meeting strict regional data security and compliance requirements. The company turned to Starburst Enterprise to create a secure, controllable, and auditable access layer for its data.

Using Starburst Enterprise and Starburst Stargate, SOPHiA GENETICS deployed distributed clusters via Kubernetes in-country and in-region, ensuring source data used for business metrics never leaves the region. With Starburst, the team gained fine-grained user access controls, centralized access through a single entry point, better auditing and compliance reporting, faster data discovery and cataloging, and quicker time-to-insight for analysts.
